Description

The Caledonian Insurance Company building, located at 33 and 35 Albert Square in Dundee, was designed by John Murray Robertson in 1886. This three-storey and attic commercial building features a two-bay layout. The front is constructed of red sandstone ashlar, while local rubble sandstone is used on the other sides, topped with a grey slate roof. The ground floor is slightly set forward, with projecting windows that have bowed angle lights on the first and second floors. A full-width sculpted parapet and a sculpted frieze separate the floors. The building has a Dutch gable with paired bipartite pilastered windows and semi-circular lintel panels decorated with sunflower patterns, along with sunflower motifs at the volutes and strapwork pattern sculpture in the tympanum. The windows have timber sash and case frames, with single panes at the bottom and multi-panes at the top. The upper floors feature margined angles, and the top is adorned with ball-finialled round-section elements that serve as rainwater heads with mask gargoyles.

On the front elevation, there is a four-panelled and reeded oak door with two herm motifs to the right, and a five-light window to the left with stop-chamfered mullions. The first and second floors have two-storey projecting windows, and the attic floor is accentuated by a Dutch gable. The interior has not been seen.
